I'd like to introduce you to another new Pokémon title, which should become one of the most anticipated Nintendo DS titles for this year. The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have been developing a new Pokémon title with the aim to launch the software this year.

The cumulative global sales of all the Pokémon series software have reached 130 million. This new Pokémon software will become the first brand new Pokémon title in 4 years since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which sold more than 5.8 million units in Japan, was launched.

Of course, this totally new Pokémon title will include new fields of adventure and a number of new Pokémon living there. As a totally new version, it will contain various unprecedented experiences.
-----
Note: These games are set to be released in Japan sometime later this year.

There are currently three 5th gen pokemon that I don't despise. Seriously, this gen is so kiddie it's embarrassing. I used to be able to imagine pokemon surviving in the wild. They've steadily shifted towards designs that can easily be made into stuffed toys. I may not even buy Black and White. So much do I hate these.Permalink

You said it, mate. This new generation looks pretty terrible.
The two worst are the puffy bat thing and the woodchuck wearing a yellow Letterman jacket. Most of them were acknowledged with a 'what were they thinking' look from me. I remember when the used to be complex and stuff, like Kadabra or Kaputops or Scyther. Permalink
